2014 Oscar Predictions: Cast Your Votes!

Guess what? I’ve seen exactly ZERO Oscar-nominated films! Not even August: Osage County, which was filmed (almost!) in my back yard.

Don’t be like me. I need to get out more.

(UPDATE! I have seen “Philomena” [which I forgot to include on the ballot until Sunday at noon; I forgot it had been nomination. So sorry!] and, as of last night, “Dallas Buyers Club.”)

The Oscars ceremony is tomorrow night! Below, I have an unofficial ballot including the top six Academy Award races so that your vote can be heard! Just cast your votes for your favorites in the Best Supporting Actor/Actress, Best Actor/Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture categories. I did this last year and it was so interesting to see how the predictions stacked up to the results!

I’ll reveal the winners (along with the percentages) here late Sunday afternoon, just before the Oscars begins!

Here you go. And feel free to shout out your votes in the Comments, or to weigh in on any Oscar topic you wish.

(FYI: The choices are randomized each time the page loads, so no one choice has an advantage.)

I realized when I saw the list of nominees online today that I have seen exactly one Oscar nominated movie in ANY category: Frozen. Because I took my granddaughter. I’m really on the cultural outskirts this year!

I just love Jennifer Lawrence and I hope the fact that she won last year won’t hurt her chances of winning again. She deserves it.

I saw Philomena and want to see Nebraska, but I have not, nor do I really want to see the other movies.

Mary

What about Philomena for best movie?

I have seen one Oscar nominated movie and that was Gravity, which was good. I need to get out more! It is so hard to choose, as there is so much talent being represented. It is rumored that 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle are front runners, but we’ll just have to wait and see 🙂

I don’t think I’ve seen any so far this year, despite my efforts. *sigh* I’ll still watch!

Miz Boo

Philomena for best movie. #9

Dawn

I’m too busy to see the movies…

I wish I had time at least to see them on the homefront when the leave the movie theaters…

I’m crazy busy!

I voted anyway for my favorite people and from the trailers I had seen along the way throughout the year! I will be watching tomorrow!

We have seen zero movies as well Ree.. I would like to see Osage County and 12 years a slave thou! Gravity looks good too. I will probably wait till they come out on PPV that way I will have the best seat in the house! Cant wait for the Oscars tomorrow night! Its my birthday to boot, 46…. I’m getting old! Thanks for hosting the Oscar poll. I remember it from last year. Cant wait to see everyone’s picks!

I’ve only seen Captain Phillips, and though he probably won’t win, I am totally rooting for Barkhad Abdi for Best Supporting. He was the lead Somali pirate and he was phenomenal. I was terrified through most of that movie and it was a little bit of a shock to remind myself about halfway through that this was just a movie and he wasn’t a real pirate. And in the car on the way home, I predicted that he should be nominated for an Oscar. I’m so glad he was! I’m very disappointed my dreamboat, Tom Hanks, wasn’t nominated for anything, but I guess the Academy has their reasons.

I just received The King’s Speech from Netflix, so that’s how far behind I am on movie-watching, lol.

I’ve seen only one of the nominated films this year, 12 Years a Slave, and it was marvelous! That said, and although Chiwetel Ejiofor’s performance was phenomenal, I believe Leonardo DiCaprio has been snubbed long enough. His reviews in The Wolf of Wall Street were outstanding, and it is time the Academy recognized his amazing talent. Also, this may be Amy Adams’ year if she can sneak past Jennifer Lawrence.

Cate Blanchett is truly wonderfull in her” Blue Jasmine” role. She doesn’t portray a “popular” character, but that doesn’t matter, this seasoned actress really knows her stuff. Subtle performance moments and some not-so-subtle moments… she nails them all. I don’t think she can possibly lose this one.

And I would kill for that skin. 🙂

Cissyrene

I haven’t seen any of these, either. I just really want Leo to finally get his Oscar.

Isabel S

What happened to Philomena as a best picture nominee? She’s not on the survey 😦

Happy Birthday! You don’t know it now, but you are soooo young!

My husband wanted to see The Wolf of Wall Street. It was a rainy afternoon and we happened to be walking past the movie theater and it was starting in 10 minutes. So we bought tickets, sat down and got ready to watch the movie. Vulgar! We should have left after the first 10 minutes. Porn! It was awful!!! Do not let your children see it. We thought with Martin Scorcese directing and Leonardo DeCaprio & Matthew McConaughey starring it would be a good movie. Not!!! Can’t say I have ever been so disappointed in a movie. I can’t say the story line was good because it was overshadowed by …. I don’t even now how to explain it.

Only one category I really care about and that is Best Actor:

Matthew McConaughey

He was amazing in Dallas Buyers Club……and currently in True Detective.

Jean C

I’ve seen a few but just rented Nebraska last night. Loved it! Bruce Dern was great, but my vote is Matthew McConaughey for best actor. He was amazing in Dallas Buyers Club.

Jami D

The only one I’ve seen is Captain Phillips. Absolutely excellent movie! Definitely worth watching.

I’ve also seen NONE of them. IN the last few years I’ve come to think of an Academy Award nomination as a RED FLAG. Bad Movie, avoid at all costs.

That’s been my experience.

Suzanne sexton

I finally saw Dallas Buyers Club and it was really good. I will probably watch Gravity this week. No desire to see American Hustle.

Carrie

My mom & I were excited to see August Osage County, because we live in Creek County(just south of Osage C.), plus it had Julia Roberts in it. Should be a good movie, right? I could not believe how awful it was. They used the “F” word constantly and the storyline was terrible. Maybe some people liked it, but I didn’t and others got up and walked out. It was such a disappointment to my mom and I.

I enjoyed Gravity

I too have seen none of these movies. The only movie I have seen at the theatre all year was Frozen and that was because the grandkids asked me to go.

I saw Captain Phillips and it was fantastic, Barkhad Abdi did an absolutely convincing and believable job. Tom Hanks as usual did a wonderful job too. Gravity was awesome and a real tear jerker. The other movies I have not seen, we don’t get out much. I love your web site and your show, keep up the good work. I also love the way you explain your recipes while you are driving to wherever you need to go, great use of the time that you have to drive to get anywhere you need to be. I promise I will never complain again about the drive to our nearest little town which is about 20 minutes away. You have a wonderful family.
